Seeing her grab the noodle, he had to wonder if she was trying to play tug with him.

So as an experiment, he just grabbed the other hand pulled back.

[motherofthesun]

Her tail swished harder in the water and she pulled back, growling playfully. This end result was very welcome.

[perfectorder]

Ah, so she did want a game of tug.

Not that he was that experienced with these sorts of things, but he was going to try and pull the noodle away. Maybe if another one floated nearby he could try to grab it...

[motherofthesun]

She continued to tug, having a small disadvantage due to no traction in water, but she twisted herself enough to paddle with her four paws in the opposite direction. Her playful growl continued as she tried to pull the noodle (and maybe Kid) along.

[perfectorder]

He moved a bit and he had about as little traction as he did due to them being in the deeper part of the pool.

But feeling himself being tugged by her, decided to try and pull her instead. If he could get closer to the shallow area—or at least to the incline...

[motherofthesun]

It was a match between two odd gods that's for sure. She continued to tug, giving a few head shakes as she pulled this time. If they reached the shallow end, it would be hard to win.

[perfectorder]

She really was getting into it and he was a little surprised by the strength. But he was not going to lose!

He continued to make his way back—until he felt his back hit something. A glance told him it was a medium sized beach ball. This was arguably cheating, but whatever. Who said there were any rules?

"Hey, Amaterasu," he grinned as he used one hand to grab it. "Catch."

And he just threw it right at her face.

[motherofthesun]

She wasn't going to give in that easily... though, getting hit in the face made her yelp. Her grip loosened briefly on the noodle, but her jaws snapped down again.

He wanted to play that way huh?

Amaterasu made her kicking harder, purposely splashing water on Kid's face.

[perfectorder]

Damn, it did not work as he hoped. He had only managed to move the noodle a few inches before she clamped back down on it, and now she was splashing him?

Well two could play at that game.

Have a wave of water right back.

[motherofthesun]

The battle of water waves continue as Amaterasu tugged and shook her head, paws splashing the water as she dragged the noodle again. This will remain a deadlock!

[perfectorder]

So it seemed...

Until Kid decided to dive under and just pull hard as he suddenly swam toward the shallow end.

[motherofthesun]

She yelped, the sound muffled as she was dragged back. No! He would reach the shallow end soon!

Time to make like a dolphin. She twisted and hunched her shoulders using all four paws at once to propel herself into a small dive-like motion to tug back. Her paws moved when she dived enough, fighting furiously.

[perfectorder]

It was the battle of the gods! She was a lot stronger than he anticipated so he lost some...ground? water? when he felt her sudden fight back.

There was a moment where his stubbornness kicked in and he redoubled his efforts. But then there was a little part of him that glanced back and seeing how hard she was pulling, that little part said, Let go.

So that was exactly what he did. After pulling back as hard as he could...he let go. Now how will the physics of momentum work?

[motherofthesun]

She was having so much fun that it took her a moment to register he let go. At least when it water, you don't fall onto your face like you do on ground. Instead, the sun goddess splashed up a storm and then floated there, biting the noodle several times almost expecting it to squeak.

She looked around hurriedly. What happened? Kid?

[perfectorder]

Now standing at a shallow area of the pool, he watched her stunned reaction. It was actually a bit amusing, and though he tried to hide it, she may have heard a small laugh escape him.

[motherofthesun]

Oh, she heard that. She turned here head in his direction and huffed. Very amusing you... She paddled over to the ball he earlier tossed as her head and hit it back.

[perfectorder]

He easily caught it.

"A game of catch, then?" he asked, but he was already throwing it back over to her.

[motherofthesun]

She woofed and tapped it with her nose, knocking the ball back to Kid soon enough.

[perfectorder]

Or perhaps more like volleyball? Seeing the ball bounced back to him in such a fashion made him automatically bring his arms together to hit it back with his wrists to return the ball right back at her.

[motherofthesun]

Again, she paddled to get underneath the ball and knocked it back. See? So much fun!

[perfectorder]

Yes, he would have to admit this was...fun. He returned the ball again, though this time he tried to make it harder for her to get it, aiming a little farther out from where she was.

[motherofthesun]

Oh gosh she can't move that fast through water! She's not Nuregami after all. The ball hit the water before she can reach it, but it's back in the air soon enough, soaring over to Kid.

[perfectorder]

"One point for me," he said with a bit of a grin before he returned the ball back toward her.

Again making it difficult for her.

[motherofthesun]

Ha! But she's ready this time and knocks it up higher, making its falling point a little harder to determine.

[perfectorder]

Oh he had this. He had this.

Until some random kid swam in front of him, making him have to abruptly stop and kind of flail so as not to lose his balance since he was kind of wading on the ramp and you know ramps are kind of slippery. But it wouldn't matter since the ball landed a little further than where he thought it would have been.
